Listen, I know that nobody needs my hot take on what’s happening in the Middle East, but this is truly whack. The Trump regime has literally stranded upwards of 1,500 American civilians abroad. They were not warned not to travel to the Middle East before they left for their trips, and now they have no clear way to get home.
As someone who has consulted the US State Department (and enrolled in its Smart Traveler Program) before going abroad, I find this very disconcerting. Is it even safe to travel abroad now? Is the United States Department of State still a trustworthy institution? Have they fired so many experts that only unqualified people are making the big decisions? Are they just WINGING this whole damn thing???
(I’m still hoping for the best, but realistically—expecting the worst.)

They are absolutely winging it, with no thoughts to the safety of the American people or its servicemen and women. That’s what happens when your entire cabinet is inept and unqualified.
For the first time in his life my Marine Corps husband… Vietnam Veteran, 22 years active duty to include Beirut and Bosnia… isn’t recommending joining the military. That speaks volumes.

Not only are they bringing in, they also claimed that they took out Iran’s nuclear facilities, five or six months back. Which one was it? Now, Iran is attacking everybody.
And this guy publicly said, on numerous occasions, that he deserved the Nobel peace prize 🤦♂️
